Feature
Project update comments, tables, and branch-specific automations
Linear now supports commenting on project updates with bi-directional Slack syncing, native table creation in documents and comments, and branch-specific workflow automations for GitHub and GitLab integrations. Additional improvements include project update subscriptions, markdown export, and regex-based branch rule configuration.
Project update comments
You can now comment on project updates to discuss changes and ask follow up questions. Comments sync bi-directionally across Linear and Slack, so everyone can chime in on one thread — even teammates who don't have a Linear account.
You can now also:
Subscribe to receive updates from specific projects
Copy project updates as markdown for easy sharing
Disable progress report metrics on individual updates
Tables
A long-standing feature request, Linear now support tables in issue descriptions, documents, and comments. Add a table using the /table command.
Branch-specific workflow automations
Set custom workflow automations based on particular target branches with our GitHub and GitLab integrations. For example, you can set up your workflow so that when a PR is merged to…
staging -> the issue status will change to In QA
main -> the issue status will change to Deployed
You can also override a default rule in a particular branch with no action if desired, so that issues linked to a change in that branch will not change status. Branch rules can also be specified using regex (e.g., ^fea/.* can set automations for all of your feature branches). Update your configuration in your team's Workflow settings.
